Good food, really good Chowder. The inside of the restaurant surprises you. Does not match the outside. Really nice atmosphere, with lots of room between tables. Only issue was that my server seemed a bit new at his job. After bringing us our food, he never came and checked back on us till our meal was all done. My husband had finished his drink and had wanted a refill less than half way through the meal. We shared and nursed my little Pepsi the entire time. Other than that it was a great place, and I'm sure the waiter will get better with time.
Lived up to the hype! Stopped in on a rainy cold day for some warm food and loved everything we ordered. Delicious chowder, excellent fish n chips, and overall a neat coastal atmosphere. Parking is easy and prices were fair. Big fan!
I have been coming here for about 10 years. I do enjoy the breaded cod fish, but I usually only eat a few of the french fries as they below average. The coleslaw is always bitter as well. They should stop serving coleslaw and serve better fries. I would assume most people come for the fish and the chowder which are both very good. As with everything, prices seem to be getting a little out-of-control. One piece fish and chips and a small cup of chowder after tax and tip was almost $25.
Yep, this place is LOCAL...good staff and food. Outside dining is right on busy street and speaker music on top of that. Nothing, that i can see, is organic and/or white flour/sugar-free. Fish products are good, as is the sweet potato fries.! WAS OVER-charged TWICE almost $12. Not going back, ever, and will pass the word on this and a few other websites.
We came to visit this restaurant with our 9 year old son. He got the full-price chicken tender meal. It was the 1 piece with fries. He liked it and ate the whole tender....which was a chicken best piece pounded real thin, breaded and deep fried. I got the Salmon sandwich. it was good, bit a little bland. So, I added some tartar sauce which bumped it up and also put some of my son's Cole slaw on it for added crunch. We also enjoyed the Rock crab tots and new England clan chowder for starter.
We had the halibut and chowder, both were amazing! The fish wasn’t greasy at all like so many fish and chips dishes I’ve had. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in the door to when we left. We will definitely be back!
If you're on vacation and need fried seafood, look no further! The bowl of chowder was so good with the fried clams. The food was exactly what I pictured it would be. Definitely going back.
Bob's has very good chowder, but that's not all. I had a very generous salmon sandwich that was very tasty. We had take out, and while I had to wait a while for the food, it was well worth the wait.
I was a little disappointed with this place. It appears to be a little run-down, and the food was simply mediocre. My halibut was breaded with Italian? herbs added, and it wasn't as good as it would have been batter-fried. My wife tried the chowder sampler, and none of the four stood out. The amounts of crab, salmon, etc. in the chowders seemed skimpy, and the New England Clam Chowder was almost too salty to eat. I would have to say that our waitress was excellent and had had a great attitude.
The food was just ok to me... the crab tots.. they seemed to have hardly any crab in them, they were greasy and overcooked... my husband did like his cod sandwich and I had the rock crab roll, which was pretty good, but, the roll it came on was cold and pretty stale. I also had ordered clam chowder, never got it and then was charged for it. Thankfully they took it off my bill.. overall, it was just ok in my opinion.. I don't think I would make a trip back.
